Education links to better cognition independent of brain pathology
Across two aging cohorts spanning normal cognition to mild Alzheimer’s disease, higher education tracked with better cognitive performance even after…Across two aging cohorts spanning normal cognition to mild Alzheimer’s disease, higher education tracked with better cognitive performance even after adjusting for multimodal brain pathology.
Education links to lower Alzheimer pathology in women only
In an autopsy cohort of 2,592 older adults, more education tracked with lower amyloid and tau burdens in females but showed no association in males.In an autopsy cohort of 2,592 older adults, more education tracked with lower amyloid and tau burdens in females but showed no association in males.
Brain MRI predicts conversion to mild cognitive impairment
Adding brain MRI to baseline traits predicted conversion from subjective decline to mild impairment with an AUC of 0.923 at five years.Adding brain MRI to baseline traits predicted conversion from subjective decline to mild impairment with an AUC of 0.923 at five years.
